The Record

STOCKTON - Another year, another record.

After setting the mark for the girls 12-year-old 50-yard breast stroke in the 2012 Stockton Summer Swim Championships, Emma Lindquist of the North Lake Lappers established a new standard Friday in the girls 13-14 100 individual medley at Cortopassi Aquatics Center in 1 minute, 7.32 seconds, besting the previous mark set in 2005 by more than one second.

"I swim year-round with Tiger Aquatics," Lindquist said. "I have been swimming since I was 8 or 9.

"I tried to go really fast in the last leg (freestyle)."

All the races Friday night were 100 IM, and Jordan Wagner of the Lincoln Lakers improved on her seed time by more than 2 seconds to win the girls 12-and-under race in 1:14.03.

"I was really nervous in the beginning because I was probably one of the youngest ones swimming," Wagner said. "But during the race I was keeping up with some of the girls, so then I thought it was going to be all right."

The three-day event continues today at Cortopassi Aquatics Center at 9 a.m. By the time the meet concludes Sunday afternoon, in excess of 600 swimmers will account for more than 3,500 entries.
